Have you checked why it does not use the index? ( how many rows are returned, stimates etc.. ). Maybe it is not using it because it is faster ( than using it, index fetches are slower than sequential fetches ( for the same number of rows ), so for some queries it is better to not use the index ) ( specially if you are using them for small test tables, i.e., for a single page table nothing beats a sequential scan ).
